I'll advocate 'browser'; the ZMI is currently a major 'selling point' of
Zope. There's a lot of power in being able to develop and manage 
applications using only a browser. Even though browser interfaces
suck in many ways, they have a few major things going for them.

While I think a browserless Zope IDE would certainly be useful and the 
Zope core should offer ways to make such a thing more easy to construct,
I don't think we should be wasting resources on developing one right from
the start.
